Oh, it's this which has been spewing that silly
	"warning: __mcount_loc already exists"

message thousands of times in my nightly kernel builds (so much so, that
I've had to filter the thing out of the logs.)  Given that this is soo
noisy, I think first we need to get to the bottom of why this program is
soo noisy before we try to make it more functional.

I had assumed that this message was produced by something in the
toolchain, not something in the kernel.
